I was slightly wary of how a film with Room’s subject material could work. I was in fact proved wrong of any doubts.
Yes, moving is a cliché word but this film is just that! A profoundly warm and loving motion picture on the part of the maternal affection we observe but also a dark, disturbing and gripping one on the other, when one looks at the predicament. My heart has never beat as fast as it did during one of the scenes of that film!
Brie Larson’s acting fully deserved the Oscar, I’d say, and the relationship between her and her 'son’, Jack, acted by Jacob Tremblay, is evidently not just an acted one; it is a clear relationship they’d forged on set, in my opinion.
I cannot recommend this film enough with its simple yet beautiful cinematography on top of the touching views one gets from seeing everything through Jacks' eyes.
I will never forget this film.
